So I just build my computer and whenever I turn it on it makes a loud beeping noise and it wont stop. Anyone have any idea what it might be?

royalmarine

what graphics card do you have?
does it need a power connection to it?

IF it does, then your psu should have a 6pin cable. that goes into the graphics card.

what is the specs of the system?
more info and we can help more

If it is a constant steady long beep that would point at a cpu problem. If it is split up into a long and short beeps that would likely point at a memory problem like the wrong type or speed or mismatched as well as defective dimms. One long two short would likely be a defective video card if nothing comes up onscreen.

Try editing a single post or put more in one there. The one thing needed would be the actual make and model of the board to see what bios is used and an accurate description of what beeps or beeping you are hearing.

Is it one constant beep or long or short followed by more then one long or short. That would generally be a long followed by 1, 2, 3, or more short beeps to point at a specific hardware.

Does the comp actually boot up? It could be the CPU overheating, At least AMDs (I think) have the habit of making constant noise when they overheat, make sure that the HSF is seated properly and the thermal paste is good.
